Day 25 and a poem about a (lost?) soul …

This feeling,
This searching for a meaning.
This constant yearning, the burden
That I carry around.
This whole in my heart,
This other me that I dare not speak of,
The soulfire being
That threatens to burn me to the ground.

Possibility;
New challenges calling me
To the horizon.
Burning passion, starts to spark.
Like the phoenix I will fly.

This is the leaving time, the dying of the light.
Winter fires may wait to burn the last embers of the old away.
In anticipation of the new emerging from these dark nights
Like a phoenix from the ashes. But this is the leaving,
The last post, and we are all prisoners of this dying season.
Hopes are all gone awry, it is too late to put things right.
Winter’s child has wrapped us in her embrace.
Her cold, dead arms encircle us.
No chance to overturn the order,
Season must follow season, we cannot overthrow
We must suffer winter’s tyranny again.
The glacial kiss of the unforgiving season.

You’ve got to be golden
Shimmering perfection,
Stepping out into the light.
You’ve got to be golden
Phoenix ascending,
Inferno, a cavalcade, the show.
You’ve got to be golden
Explosive passions
Inspiration dripping
From every pore.
You’ve got to be golden
Until hell freezes over.
Don’t let the others
Spy the demon face.
